Star Wars for me! I grew up both wanting to be Princess Leia and in love with Luke Skywalker. never really got over the big reveal. thanks a lot Lucas. although, I also love the new Star Trek movies, a lot.

These are my pillowcases.

Enough said.

However, I will echo the sentiments of the "new" Star Trek fans. To see how awesome these movies are, especially Into Darkness, makes me feel much more confident (excited even!!) about Episodes 7, 8 and 9.

Edit: those aren't actually my pillowcases. That's just a picture from the internet. But my cousin made me the same ones for my birthday.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I'm going to set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it. Anyone who wants to tag along is more than welcome.

I enjoy Star Trek but Star Wars was a cultural force. In my opinion, it's not even close.

After a night of jagerbombs I told my now boyfriend I had a crush on him. His reply? "I know." If I wasn't such a nerd this would have pissed me off. I told him so and we were holding hands and watching Star Wars together within the week. (None of those are euphemisms, that's actually what happened) Three and a half years later, it's my longest relationship

I grew up lovin' both, but definitely Star Wars more. The expanded universe through the books and comics (Tales Of The Jedi FTW) was great, but the prequels ruined a lot of my love of the older material.I've loved a good portion of the movies (1-4, 6-7, and the new pair from JJ) but the TV series were all hit and miss fer me, minus TOS.

I completely expect Star Wars to win this. It is the younger generations Star Trek. And I do love them both.

It's funny that you framed it in a generational context because I was worried that there would be a significant vote swing since the most recent outings for Star Trek outshine the most recent outings for Star Wars.

As a child, I was much more of a Star Trek fan... now, I really can't tolerate it. Star Wars is mostly pretty difficult to handle, too, but at least there were two great movies and some good games that came from it. There are bits of Star Wars that I can say that I actually like, but I really can't say the same for Star Trek (haven't seen either of the newer movies, and not particularly interested, either).
